Navigation and audio system failure in the 2013 Renault Clio: Possible correlation with interior light

Hi, sure, I can help you. I drive a 2016 Renault Megane myself and also had problems with the navigation and audio system. In my case, the control unit was defective. It was a serious matter because it not only affects the navigation and audio system, but also other parts of the car such as the engine control unit. It wasn't exactly a small job - they had to replace the whole unit. Fortunately, my garage found the fault quickly and it wasn't as bad as it first sounded. So, if it's the control unit for you too, don't worry for now - it can be repaired. But you should definitely have it checked at the garage soon!

Hi, thanks for your reply. I really hope it's not the control unit on my Renault Clio. I know it can be quite expensive. Can you remember what you paid for the repair back then? Since changing the unit, have there been any other problems?

(Translated from German)

Yes, it really wasn't a cheap job. I spent what felt like €1000 on repairing the control unit. But after that, everything ran like clockwork. And I had the same problem with the interior light. The last time I was at the mechanic they fixed it at the same time. Since then it hasn't come up again and everything runs smoothly. I hope it works just as well for you, don't worry!

Thank you very much for these insights and your quick reply. Quite expensive, but if it runs smoothly afterwards, then it's definitely worth it. I'll probably take my Renault to the garage soon before it gets any worse. With your experience in mind, I feel much better prepared now. Fingers crossed that it goes as smoothly for me. Thanks again!
